Two Convicted Felon Arrested on Firearms Charges

On March 6, 2017, Putnam County Sheriff’s Office detectives received information leading them to believe two convicted felons, Eddie Ray Bryant and Corey Corbin, were engaged in the sale or trade of a firearm. The ensuing investigation led to the discovery that Bryant received a .25 caliber Raven handgun from Corbin as partial payment in exchange for truck seats and then later sold the firearm to a third party. As convicted felons, it is illegal for either man to own, possess, trade or sell a firearm. After being interviewed on March 28, 2017, Bryant was arrested and transported to the Putnam County Jail where he was booked on one felony count of the possession of a firearm and is currently being held with no bond. A warrant was issued for Corbin who was arrested and booked into the Putnam County Jail on March 30, 2017, where he was charged with one count of the possession of a firearm and is currently being held on a bond of $50,000
